As a warm-climate complement to our miscanthus product development pipeline, Ceres is developing sugarcane varieties that have been selected for their biomass yields rather than sugar production. These are known as energycane.
We are applying marker-assisted breeding and biotechnology to energycane, focusing our development activities primarily on biomass yield and stress tolerance traits needed to expand the growing region for energycane production.
We are also studying biomass composition traits that can enhance conversion process yields and decrease process costs.
